Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1085301A2] The present invention provides a vortex flowmeter for measuring the flow rate of a fluid by detecting an alternating signal produced by Karman vortices using a sensor, comprising a low-pass filter for letting pass through the frequency band of the alternating signal that is determined by the diameter and flow-rate range of the vortex flowmeter; subband filters for splitting the frequency band passing through the low-pass filter into a plurality of component bands; a spectrum analyzer for analyzing the plurality of component bands; and a bandpass filter for letting pass through a frequency band to be measured, according to the analysis results of the spectrum analyzer, thereby permitting flow-rate measurement with higher precision.
